Ok. I found out that my computers used to display video are too slow for
divx. So I'll go with mpeg2. I record with nuppelrec, and then pack
with transcode. Packing takes time, but no problem. Or that's what I was
thinking...

Then yesterday I had several short recordings. Looked 'I have enough
disk space', and all encodings were running nice -20. Who cares if
there are 3 mpeg2enc's running? 

Then last, really wanted recording didn't get enough CPU, and ended
after 6 minutes, or at least I think that might be the
problem. Nuppelrec is suid-root, so it would be capable to set it's
priority high enough, but maybe it did not do it since it was running
with nice -2, since it was at job. Or are both threads/processes
runnign with higher priority? Maybe encoding to rtjpeg did not get
enough time, since it was nice -2 still?
